Now that it has been settled where President Wilson will attend church and that Secretary Bryan does not propose to serve intoxicants at state dinners, the opposition press will be obliged to show us where the proposed tariff legislation is going to work a hardship on the masses.—JournalGazette. j

Meredith Nicholson is doing some writing for the Indianapolis papers on the subject of a suitable candidate for Mayor. Mr. Nicholson is a pretty strong democrat and is entertaining fears that the party is going to fall into the hands of the Philistines if he don’t keep his pen in operation. He might prevent such a calamity if he would trot out the right kind of a man for the job.—Columbia City Post. Congressman Adair has been offered the chairmanship of the national congressional committee, a very high honor, but the distinguished Indianian declined the place because he feels that his time both during congress and in campaign times, belongs to the Eighth district. Mr. Adair is wise and the people of this community love and admire him. They would gladly see him receive any honor to which he might aspire and they would back him at any time to make good on any job. They have the proof of seven years in congress, every minute of which time has been devoted to the interests of the people of the district which sent him there. The democrats have kept their pledge made during the many campaigns of the past. They have passed the Underwood tariff bill, reducing many of the important schedules, the first revision downward in many years. The bill passed by a vote of 281 to 139, two republicans and five progressives voting with the democrats. It is believed the bill will pass the senate without much change and the people will be given the opportunity to learn whether or not a revision of the tariff down will aid to the prosperity of the people by reducing the cost of living. We believe it will, and we believve that the officials now at the head cf i the United States government are hon- j est and capable. While there may be and no doubt will be many mistakes made in the new bill, it is certain that there were many in the present law, i and these will be remedied in time. The difference is that any mistake i made in ths bill will be in favor of I the people and not of the big business interests. DemCvtu* V’ant Ads Pa v .

Vases of lilacs in the pretty home made beautiful with its many works of art done by Mrs. Lehne, who is skilled, made the setting a very pretty one.
